The Shit No One Tells You About Writing

Being Out on Sub, Drafting vs Revising Mode, Answering Your Questions and Comps Titles


Listen Later

In today's Bonus Episode, Bianca first chats with Jessica Payne, author of Make Me Disappear, about getting "the call"; how long the editorial process can take before going on sub; how publishing is like dating; how to tell when you’re close to getting offers of representation; writing under contract while launching a debut; and establishing relationships with Bookstagrammers and a potential launch team before you’ve sold the book.

Bianca then talks with Amy Jones, award-winning author of Every Little Piece of Me about writing as rewriting; saving your deleted work; how drafting a novel is like building a house; place-holding chapters and  scenes; and drafting mode versus revising mode.

After which Carly and CeCe answer your burning questions.

Finally, Emilie Sommer from East City Bookshop gives you comps titles!
